Pale straw-amber; good white head, fast gone. Yeast clinging until the last drops. Nose as if somebody is roasting beets, caramelised and fresh plantjuice, garden weeds and sulphur. Very pilsner-like taste, lots of fresh grassy lager malts and a touch of ambrée malt. Fresh herbal flavour, lunaria, and dry grain. Medium bodied, slightly burning sensation. For a first try, quite meriting, the more as they tried a rather basic beer, rather than a bowl-you-over.

(33cl bottle) Pours a cloudy golden body with a small white head. Aroma of yeast, stomach acid, and peach. Flavor of yeast, earth, some fruitiness, grass, and light bread.

33cl bottle at home. BB ???. Bought at the Hopduvel in Ghent. Gusher!! Cloudy, amber beer. Off white head. Lots of sediment on the bottom of the glass. Oranges, spices, caramel in the nose. Roasted malts, a little sourness and again oranges in the mouth. Almost no aftertaste.

Gusher. I got half the bottle in my glass. I thought something was up when I almost went blind from the cap shooting towards my eye. Sour, funky, infected aroma. Cloudy amber color. A huge infected head at first, flat looking beer in a matter of seconds. No lacing. Vegetal, sweet, infected taste. Not good. This is horrible.

33cl bottle at the own Brasserie. Murky amber with persistent and creamy white head. Fruity, spicy and bready aroma. Flavour is fruity, slightly alcoholic at the beginning with a final moderate bittery. Lively carbonation. Body is medium. Oily feel.

Bottle from Beer Planet. Hazy caramel body with foamy head. Nose of sweet malts and bread. Taste of spices, wheats, some grass flavours. Okay. A bit uneven.

Bottled. Explosively gushing upon opening. Pours cloudy amber with brief, lively head. Fruity nose with plums and other ripe fruits. Medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Grapes and plums, slight bready notes. Low bitterness. Really interesting beer, but I recommend others to open in the shower.

Bottle courtesy bu11zeye. Pours a cloudy light orange color with a white foamy head. Aroma is slightly sweet, grain, and Malts. Flavor is dry and sweet with some odd flavors, metal and bitter flavors. Easy.

Golden blond coloured beer with some light carbonation and a small white head. Rather strange fruity aroma with some light hoppy hints. Full palate. Finish is light hoppy with fruity hints. Rather strange palate. Medium.

When opening the bottle, beer is everywhere... Orange coloured beer, floaters (ofcourse...), a big head, but one that colapses quickly. The smell is very yeasty, good spiced-fruity. Not bad. The taste is a bit less... Also the yeast is there, but a bit of an unpleasant earthy spicyness gets trough to hard. Aftertaste is moderated yeast-taste, slightly fruity.

33cl bouteille @ in Frasnes, café de la poste. Couleur dorée brumeuse, col blanc épais. De suite je suis pris par la bonne senteur de cette bière, épice légère s’en échappe. Rappelant, soit l’anis ou la moutarde. Par moment, impression de ces herbes de Provence. En bouche, la bière fait place a ce profile intéressant des épices rappelant comme décrit plus haut herbes de Provence, thym, anis, etc. Le tout se mélange avec une amertume citronnée/agrumes de houblon qui balance le tout. Le profile me rappelle celui de la Silly Pils Bio et Millervertus Green Buzz pour cette touche bio du grains qui laissent sur la langue une touche de grains concassés très frais. Bière qui se déguste, et dont l’ajout d’épices, sucres et un orge de qualité donne une certaine douceur en bouche.
